Lyrics
Our love is a dream, but in my reverie
Expressing that the love shared is like a dream
I can see that this love was meant for me
Believing that the love depicted in the dream is destined for the speaker
Only a poor fool never schooled in the whirlpool
Describing someone inexperienced and unprepared for the challenges of love
Of romance could be so cruel as you are to me
Highlighting the harshness of the romantic experience, suggesting mistreatment
My dreams are as worthless as tin to me
Stating that the dreams without the loved one are valueless
Without you life will never begin to be
Emphasizing the importance of the loved one in making life meaningful
So love me as I love you in my reverie
Desiring reciprocal love in the dream state
Make my dream a reality
Expressing a wish for the dream of love to become a reality
Let's dispense with formality
Suggesting a desire to remove formalities in the pursuit of love
Come to me in my reverie
Inviting the loved one to join in the dreamlike state
Our love is a dream, but in my reverie
Reiteration of the dream-like nature of their love
I can see that this love was meant for me
Reaffirming the belief that the love in the dream is meant for the speaker
Only a poor fool never schooled in the whirlpool
Describing someone lacking experience in the complexities of love
Of romance could be so cruel as you are to me
Repeating the idea of the harshness and cruelty experienced in romance
My dreams are as worthless as tin to me
Emphasizing the worthlessness of dreams without the loved one
Without you life will never begin to be
Highlighting the importance of the loved one in giving life meaning
So love me as I love you in my reverie
Expressing a desire for reciprocal love within the dream state
Make my dream a reality
Reiterating the wish for the dream of love to become a reality
Let's dispense with formality
Expressing a desire to discard formalities in the pursuit of love
Come to me in my reverie
Inviting the loved one to join in the dreamlike state (repeated from line 10)
